Three Bullets is a new title from award-winning author, Melvin Burgess.
The Bloods are in control and they’re desperate to turn Britain into the world they want to see – right, white, Christian supremist. Anyone who they call abnormal is a target. Amidst the chaos of civil war the country is on the move as small militia groups fight each other and a sea of refugees escapes the cities and the pursuing Bloods.
When her home is destroyed in a bombing raid, Marti must strike out on a mission of her own – to save her father and get his vital software into the right hands. But Marti is mixed race and trans and has her three-year-old brother in tow. Crossing into enemy territory could prove suicidal. Yet Marti's enemies haven't reckoned with her indomitable will to survive – and the gun she carries, which has three bullets.
'[Burgess] has a fantastic imagination and draws out adolescent strong emotions very effectively.'
Kit Spring, Observer
'Melvin Burgess is one of the founding fathers of modern teen fiction.'
Juno Dawson, author of Wonderland
'Burgess is back with a punchy novel about white supremacy and urban warfare... [it reflects] the trend of YA books addressing intersectional issues in ways the adult market struggles to do'
